  • ACHINGS AIN'T WE ARE BACK

  • WITH A FOX NEWS ALERT.

  • BRAND NEW DETAILS THIS

  • MORNING SURROUNDING JEFFREY

  • EPSTEIN'S APPARENT SUICIDE.

  • TODD: AUTOPSY REPORTEDLY

  • SHOWING BROKEN BONES IN HIS

  • NECK.

  • RAISING MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT

  • HIS FINAL CAUSE OF DEATH.

  • STEVE: ANDREW McCARTHY

  • SERVED AS THE CHIEF U.S.

  • ATTORNEY FOR THE SOUTHERN

  • DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND HAD

  • DEFENDANTS IN THE SAME JAIL

  • AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

  • HE JOINS US NOW LIVE.

  • >> GOOD MORNING.

  • STEVE: APPARENTLY BROKEN

  • BONES IN THE NECK BUT ONE IN

  • PARTICULAR, THIZE OID BONE

  • NEAR THE ADAM'S APPLE WHICH

  • IS MORE COMMON IN

  • STRANGULATION MURDERS THAN

  • SUICIDAL HANGINGS, IT IS

  • WRITTEN IN THIS MORNING'S

  • PAPER.

  • >> YEAH.

  • BUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID THE

  • WORLD STRANG GLUE LABOR

  • RELATION MAY BE LESS

  • IMPORTANT THAN THE WORDS

  • MORE COMMON.

  • IT'S NOT INCONSISTENT WITH

  • SUICIDE.

  • AND WHAT I HATE ABOUT THESE

  • LEAKS IS.

  • STEVE: AUTOPSY LEAKS.

  • >> ANY KIND OF LEAKS ABOUT

  • INVESTIGATIONS WHERE PEOPLE

  • CHERRY PICK WHERE THEY WANT

  • TO PUT OUT UNDER

  • CIRCUMSTANCES WE KNOW IN

  • MOST INVESTIGATIONS WE NEED

  • TO HAVE A EXPENSIVE

  • UNDERSTANDING OF EVERYTHING

  • AND YOU CAN PUT TOO MUCH OR

  • TOO LITTLE EMPHASIS ON

  • INDIVIDUAL FACTS.

  • TO ME I WOULD WANT TO KNOW

  • IF THEY THEY ACTUALLY HAD

  • VIDEO OF THE COMMON AREAS OF

  • THE JAIL AND THEY COULD TELL

  • WHETHER SOMEONE ELSE WAS

  • ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT OF

  • CELL.

  • THAT TO ME WOULD BE AT LEAST

  • AS IMPORTANT A PIECE OF

  • EVIDENCE AS WHAT --

  • AINSLEY: WHAT DO YOU THINK

  • HAPPENED.

  • >> I'M GOING TO ASSUME IT

  • WAS A SUICIDE UNTIL THERE IS

  • POWERFUL EVIDENCE THAT THERE

  • IS NOT.

  • THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO

  • ME.

  • GROSS INCOMPETENCE HERE.

  • NOT SURPRISING INCOMPETENCE

  • THAT PARTICULAR INSTITUTION

  • HAS NOT GOT A GREAT

  • REPUTATION EVEN IN FEDERAL

  • CIRCLES.

  • TODD: ANDY, WHAT I WANT TO

  • SEE IS MY -- EXCUSE ME USING

  • THIS PHRASE LEADING TO THE

  • NEXT SEGMENT.

  • A JOHN DURHAM TYPE

  • INVESTIGATION WHERE

  • EVERYBODY THAT IS

  • INVESTIGATING IS

  • NON-PARTIAL, BIPARTISAN.

  • I WANT THE CLEANEST THING IN

  • THE WORLD TO INVESTIGATE

  • THIS JUST SO AS AMERICANS WE

  • CAN FEEL CONFIDENT AND KNOW

  • WHAT HAPPENED.

  • IS THAT REALISTIC?

  • >> I HOPE IT IS.

  • YOU KNOW, WHAT'S REALLY SAD

  • IS THAT YOU HAVE TO DESCRIBE

  • IT THAT WAY.

  • BECAUSE IT USED TO BE

  • IMPLICIT THAT THAT'S WAS

  • WHAT THESE INVESTIGATIONS

  • WERE.

  • I WAS VERY PROUD TO BE AT

  • THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW

  • YORK FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.

  • STEVE: RIGHT.

  • >> I THINK WE WOULD HAVE

  • TAKEN UMBRAGE AT THE

  • SUGGESTION THAT

  • INVESTIGATIONS WERE ANY

  • OTHER WAY.

  • BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE

  • WORLD WHERE WE ARE LIVING

  • IN.

  • AINSLEY: FASCINATING.

  • WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT

  • HAPPENED WITHIN THAT JAIL

  • CELL.

  • ULTIMATELY WE HAVE TO

  • REMEMBER THE VICTIMS.

  • ALL THESE WOMEN THAT ARE

  • CLAIMING THAT HE SEXUALLY

  • ASSAULTED THEM AT AN EARLY

  • AGE WHEN THEY WERE MINORS.

  • WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM?

  • WHEN DO THEY GET JUSTICE?

  • >> YOU KNOW, AINSLEY, THE

  • THING THAT I THINK WE CAN

  • TAKE HEART FROM IS THAT

  • ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR HAS

  • BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT THIS

  • CASE IS GOING ON, THIS

  • INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON.

  • ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS

  • NOTABLE READINGS THE

  • INDICTMENT IS THE FIRST

  • CHARGE IS A CONSPIRACY

  • CHARGE, SO THAT HE IS NOT

  • THE ONLY OR HE WAS NOT THE

  • ONLY PERSON WHO WAS ALLEGED

  • TO HAVE BEEN AT THE ROOT OF

  • THIS ABUSE.

  • AND THIS IS GOING TO

  • CONTINUE.

  • IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE IN

  • THE CRIMINAL CONTEXT THERE

  • IS GOING TO BE CIVIL

  • LITIGATION.

  • I THINK THE VICTIMS WILL GET

  • JUSTICE.

  • STEVE: ANDY, LET'S TALK

  • ABOUT YOUR BRAND NEW BOOK

  • AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE RIGHT

  • NOW.

  • BALL OF COLLUSION.

  • YOU WRITE IN THE BOOK THERE

  • WAS NO COLLUSION BETWEEN

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN

  • AND THE RUSSIANS.

  • BUT THERE WAS COLLUSION

  • BETWEEN --

  • >> WELL, I THINK THE OBAMA

  • ADMINISTRATION PUT THE LAW

  • ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE

  • APPARATUS OF OUR GOVERNMENT

  • IN THE SERVICE OF THE

  • CLINTON CAMPAIGN.

  • >> SO THE COLLUSION WAS

  • BETWEEN OBAMA AND CLINTON?

  • >> YES.

  • AND IT WAS THE USE OF THESE

  • COUNTERINTELLIGENCE TOWERS

  • AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

  • PROCESSES IN OUR POLITICAL

  • PROCESS WHICH IS NEVER

  • SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

  • STEVE: BUT IT DID, ACCORDING

  • TO YOUR BOOK.

  • >> WELL, I TRIED IN THE BOOK

  • TO NOT MAKE ASSERTIONS THAT

  • I COULDN'T BACK UP.

  • I THINK IT'S PRETTY, RICHLY

  • FOOTNOTED AND CORROBORATED,

  • WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU CAN

  • SAY FOR SAY THE DOSSIER.

  • AINSLEY: WHY DID YOU WRITE

  • THE BOOK?

  • WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION?

  • >> I STARTED OUT HAVING

  • COVERED A LOT OF THE CLINTON

  • EMAILS CASE AND THE

  • TRUMP-RUSSIA CASE.

  • AND WHAT BOTHERED ME WAS THE

  • DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF

  • JUSTICE THAT WAS AFFORDED.

  • I DON'T THINK ANY OBJECTIVE

  • PERSON CAN LOOK AT THOSE TWO

  • INVESTIGATIONS AND SAY THE

  • SAME QUALITY OF JUSTICE WAS

  • AFFORDED TO EACH.

  • BUT THE OTHER THING IS I

  • THINK I WAS ESSENTIALLY

  • WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING I FELT

  • VERY STRONGLY ABOUT AT THE

  • BEGINNING.

  • I TOLD PEOPLE THAT THERE WAS

  • NO WAY THEY WOULD TAKE AN

  • UNCORROBORATED SCREED OF

  • POLITICAL OPERATION AND TAKE

  • IT TO A FEDERAL COURT TO GET

  • A SURVEILLANCE WARRANT I

  • TOLD PEOPLE THEY WERE CRAZY

  • TO THINK THAT THE FBI AND

  • THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WOULD

  • EVER DO THAT.

  • I WANTED TO KNOW WHY WAS I

  • SO SO SPECTACULARLY WRONG?

  • I THINK THE ANSWER IS IN

  • EVERY INVESTIGATION, THE

  • INVESTIGATORS ALWAYS THINK

  • THAT THEIR BAD GUYS ARE THE

  • WORST BAD GUYS IN THE

  • HISTORY OF BAD GUYS.

  • AND WHAT YOU ALWAYS NEED IS

  • THE ADULT SUPERVISION OF

  • LEADERSHIP, HEADQUARTERS,

  • WHETHER IT'S AT THE JUSTICE

  • DEPARTMENT OR THE FBI TO

  • POLICE THE INEVITABLE

  • TENDENCY PEOPLE HAVE TO PUSH

  • THE ENVELOPE.

  • AND I THINK WHAT HAPPENED

  • HERE, AINSLEY, IS

  • SUPERVISION BECAME THE

  • INVESTIGATOR.

  • AND WHEN THEY PUSHED THE

  • ENVELOPE, THERE WAS NOBODY

  • THERE TO TELL THEM NO.

  • STEVE: ANDY, I SAW THE

  • PRESIDENT ANSWERED A

  • QUESTION UP ON CAPITOL HILL

  • FROM A REPORTER ABOUT HOW

  • HIGH HE THOUGHT THIS WENT IN

  • THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND

  • HE SAID I REALLY SHOULDN'T

  • ANSWER BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I

  • THINK.

  • HOW HIGH DO YOU THINK IT DID

  • GO?

  • >> THESE WERE

  • COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

  • INVESTIGATIONS.

  • THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM

  • CRIMINAL -- CRIMINAL

  • INVESTIGATION IS THE

  • VINDICATION OF THE RULE OF

  • LAW IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

  • COUNTER INTELLIGENCE

  • INVESTIGATIONS BELONG TO THE

  • PRESIDENT.

  • THEY ARE ONLY DONE FOR ONE

  • REASON TO BELIEVE AND THAT

  • IS TO GATHER INTELLIGENCE SO

  • THAT THE PRESIDENT CAN CARRY

  • OUT HIS NATIONAL SECURITY

  • RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE

  • CONSTITUTION.

  • SO ANY COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

  • INVESTIGATION IS THE

  • PRESIDENT'S INVESTIGATION.

  • STEVE: THIS GOES TO THE WEST

  • WING?

  • >> IT GOES TO THE PRESIDENT.

  • THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED

  • TO WORK.

  • IF IT'S NOT WORKING THAT

  • WAY, THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE A

  • COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

  • INVESTIGATION IN THE FIRST

  • PLACE.

  • BUT HERE WE DON'T HAVE TO

  • SPECULATE BECAUSE THERE IS

  • PLENTY OF INDICATION THAT

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS INFORMED

  • AND KNEW WHAT EXACTLY WHAT

  • THEY WERE DOING.

  • STEVE: HOLY COW.

  • AINSLEY: WOW.

  • STEVE: GOT TO READ THIS

  • BOOK.
